This chapter describes the front panel and rear panel of the Switch and shows you how to make the

hardware connections.

The Switch supports 16 SFP+ slots and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Switch also comes with eight

dual personality interfaces of 10 Gigabit. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit port and one

slot for a SFP+ module with one port active at a time.

Ethernet ports support Multi-Gigabit (100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps).

The figure below shows the front panel of the Switch.

Use SFP+ transceivers in these ports for high-bandwidth backbone connections. You can

also insert an SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) in the SFP+ slot.

These are 10GBase-T auto-negotiating and auto-crossover Ethernet ports.

Connect these ports to a computer, a hub, a router, or an Ethernet switch.

Each interface has one 10GBase-T copper RJ-45 port and one SFP slot, with one port active

8 10GBase-T Ports:

Connect these ports to a computer, an Ethernet switch or router.

8 SFP+ Slots:

Use Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers in these ports for fiber optic

connections to an Ethernet switch or router.

Connect to a computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable for local configuration of the Switch.

Only connect this port to your computer (using an RS-232 cable) if you want to configure the

Switch using the command line interface (CLI) through the console port.
